Othello's colour has always been an interpretative key point. Startingfrom Shakespeare's Italian source, it can be considered in relation to elementsof Renaissance aesthetics of the wonder or marvellous, becomingin the Shakespearian tragedy a deep cultural and symbolic connotation.Othello's face is a simulacrum of the complex relationships of the characters, inside the perception of an aesthetics of the otherness, betweenorder and chaos.During the Romantic Age the construction of Othello's Myth involvesa large reception of the play (from Hazlitt to Byron, Schlegel, Coleridge)including passages in the figurative arts (examples from Sabatelli, Delacroix,Colin) where the paintings represent moments of "visual criticism"showing a connection and an ideal dialogue with the dominant, romanticinterpretative models.
